NOTE:
In order to avoid loss of data, it is recommended that you implement the
following memory management techniques:
• Do not connect the terminal power to the ignition switch signal in order to
prevent uncontrolled power cut offs. Connect the terminal power directly to
the car battery and the ignition switch signal to one of the terminal inputs.
When the ignition switch signal has been powered off, use the shutdown
function to power off the terminal, ensuring that all files and sessions have
first been closed.
• Use the RAM storage for temporary files that are frequently updated.
• Ensure that you close all files that are not currently being used.
• When using extended permanent storage, such as DiskOnChip or USB,
saving the application executables in the terminal flash memory and the
data on the extended storage is the best way to protect your data.
23

Mechanical Installation
Mounting the Net-960CE-S MDT Standard Model
The Net-960CE-S is supplied with a mounting bracket with eight 6.3mm
(0.25”) holes prepared in advance for attachment to the vehicle’s
dashboard.
1 Affix the bracket in the desired position using as many screws as
required.
2 Align the round rubber mount on the right and left sides of the
Net-960CE-S with one of the three holes provided on the sides of the
bracket. Both sides should be aligned with the same hole, meaning
either the top, middle or bottom hole on each side.
3 Attached the rubber side screws from the outside of each side of the
bracket so that it goes through the bracket hole and screws into the
rubber mount, which is attached to the Net-960CE-S. Screw it in
firmly, but do not over-tighten.
